As finals begin to loom over the campus, a new project is about to
begin here at Skyline that has been in the planning stages for a
year now, and will bring much more inconvenience to those who park on campus than ever before.
The former Pacific Heights Middle School, which is adjacent to the campus, will be used for makeshift classrooms, while buildings 3 and 8 are undergoing seismic retrofitting and modernization. The work on building 3 is projected to be completed by August 2005. Building 8 is set to be finished in December of that year.
"The meeting that we had with Dr. White this morning, and we talked about things that still need to happen to make sure we're keeping up with not only the students, faculty and staff informed, but the community at large," Supervisor of Facilities Richard Inokuchi said. "They're talking about putting a kiosk a little bit south of the flag pole that'll talk about some of the construction. That's something that should be happening in few weeks."
Building 3 houses most campus athletic facilities, which means that the construction is going to leave the school without a gym for the next 2 years, bringing a difficult task to the athletics department to find a place suitable for the sports teams to be able to practice.
The work on building 3 will consist of seismic upgrade work with renovation work that will include new team rooms, locker rooms, and shower and restroom facilities on the first floor and addition of restrooms on the gym floor. The dance studio and mat rooms will also be remodeled
Set to begin in September and to be completed in April 2006 is the new Student Union Building, as well as the new science annex connected to building 7. Both buildings will be located near each other. One is an extension of building 7 and will occupy the space that is currently staff parking lot 7. The other is going to be the new building 6 and will occupy the part of the quad used for dropping off and picking up students.
